Buzz Words

Anyone have buzz words that get you ready for a rectal temp? "Over on your tummy. This goes in your bottom.". " I'm going to take your temperature. I think I'm going to do it in your hiney. ". " Temperature time. Bottoms up."

“I’m sorry, but I need to use the baby thermometer.”

I think I have a fever….can you check it for me please!?! 😉

I don’t wait for his (my husband) answer….I just pull down my pants and lay down on the bed or over his lap!

@hilenk I don’t like to call it the “baby thermometer” or the “baby way”…..rectal temperatures are for and can be used on all ages! My doctor doesn’t “force” her patients to use the rectal route but she also doesn’t discourage that way either! If that is your preference then so be it….she says Rectal is BEST! But it’s a personal preference…..if you choose rectal; great! If you choose another route; fine!

Just remember…..rectal temperatures are not JUST for babies or young children….Anyone @ any age can use the rectal route for temperature taking!

@Luvbottomtemps, I agree with you: rectal temperatures are accurate for any age, and have the added benefit of being fun for many of us, in part by creating a few minutes of exquisite intimacy between partners. Coercion and use of RTs for punishment are definitely turn-offs for me.

Having said that, we can’t deny that RTs are invasive, and that many people thus find them embarrassing. When I grew up, most children that I knew preferred to switch to oral temperatures as soon as they were old enough to be able to hold a thermometer under their tongue. So, at least in non-emergency use, rectal temps tended to have a stigma of being for "babies".

In that context, for me, there is something deliciously erotic about a scenario where a woman decides that she has to take my temperature rectally in order to get an accurate reading. Referring to the “baby” thermometer adds an extra layer of piquancy to the embarrassment. It is not coercion, but rather leads to a voluntary submission to my caregiver’s decision and the unexpected intimacy that follows. 😊

Temperature time is one for sure for me. Also being told to turn over.

I visited a pro dome not long ago. She had me set on her lap. She patted my bottom and said, " I'm going to take your temperature and I think I'm going to take it right here in your little hiney.". Major turn on.

I've only ever had it that way in play exams, never in real life, but "I'm just going to take your temperature. Can you lie down on your tummy and roll your boxers down for me, I need to take it in your bottom" gets me excited on the other side.

"You look a bit pale, I think we should check your temperature. Please come here, pull down your pants and lay down over my lap". Would be a major turn on today!
